Canada’s quiz show queen has held onto her crown.

Mattea Roach beat out fellow Jeopardy super-champions Amy Schneider and Matt Amodio Tuesday in a special exhibition game before the trio joins the tournament of champions.

She won with $17,600, compared with Schneider’s $904 and Amodio’s $3,600, though there was no money on the table during this game – just bragging rights.

Roach, who hails from Halifax and now calls Toronto home, became the Jeopardy contestant with the fifth-longest winning streak in the show’s history earlier this year.

Schneider has the second-longest streak, while Amodio has the third.

The three will join the tournament of champions semi-final round in a series of games that start Wednesday.
